Overview
- Javier Delgado-Cordoba, 29, turned himself in Monday to the Jefferson County Jail and is being held on a $20,000 cash-only bond with a court date set for May 20.
- Police say he picked up a woman and her boyfriend from a Denver-area bar, drove off with the woman after the boyfriend got out at an Arvada home, and later left her at a business in another city, where she sought medical care and a forensic exam.
- Detectives report that DNA from the exam and information tied to his Uber profile and social media identified him as the suspect.
- Arvada police believe other people may have been harmed and ask anyone with information to call the tip line at 720-898-7171 and reference case AR26001904.
- According to police, he had driven for Uber about a year and completed more than 1,000 trips, a record that adds to growing scrutiny of rideshare safety in Colorado following a veto of tougher driver checks and new state work on rules for imposter drivers, as a federal jury separately found Uber liable in another assault case.
